Uden, in the Dutch province of Noord-Brabant, appears in the manufacturer name Tracon Uden, pointing to a body-building or vehicle concern based there. The FIA DU of 2004 was built by that concern.

The FIA DU is driven by a four-cylinder engine of 2,800 cc displacement. At a length of 7,950 mm and a width of 2,320 mm, the vehicle rides on six wheels and a wheelbase of 5,020 mm; kerb weight is 3,720 kg.
At a gross vehicle weight of 6,000 kg the FIA DU falls into EU class N2 between 3.5 and 12 t. Kerb weight and gross weight differ by 2,280 kg of payload margin, a generous share for this class that points to variable cargo rather than a permanently mounted body. Six wheels at a length of 7,950 mm point to twin rear tyres, of the kind carried by chassis built for higher payload, while simpler versions of this size usually make do with only four wheels.
Buying such a light chassis with twin rear tyres second-hand starts with checking the rear tyres for uneven wear between the inner and outer wheel, since an unnoticed loss of pressure in one of the pair quickly causes damage. The four-cylinder engine of 2.8 litres calls for a check of the turbocharger and cooling system, and given the 2004 build year, the frame and load bed are also worth checking for rust damage, together with the mounts that hold the body to the frame.
